$1,000 of the $2,000 has been spent from the
community engagement fund. S. Hazan suggested that
next semester the remainder of funds could go
towards one to two events with all FYE students.

At the end of the spring 2013 semester, there is
time for training of new peer leaders and faculty.

Next year's budget request will include, funding for
35 new peer leaders, training
for the peer leaders and faculty, and stipends.

Ideas for the community engagement fund:

·
Common reading

·
Movie discussions

·
Common Intellectual Experience

·
Pick a theme for FYE courses

·
Build more out of the class experience with peer
leaders (utilize experiences from Blue Devils
Advocates program)

M. Leake will present the proposed budget at the
next steering committee meeting.

Update: Spring 2013 enrollment

There are 23 of 35 students registered in FYE
classes for spring 2013. 70 first year students have
been accepted to CCSU for the spring, 42 of those
students have confirmed they will be attending
school at CCSU. The spring 2013 FYE course
enrollment numbers do not include the entering first
year students.

What if a student fails to complete an FYE?

·
Students may enroll in an FYE in the second
semester.

·
Students who are on probation complete an
intervention in The Learning Center, which
substitutes for the FYE requirement.

·
The Registrar will include the FYE requirement as
part of the graduation requirement in the near
future.
